MindDivers has a team of highly qualified experts to help.
Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has gained a variety of experience from working at county clinics, various schools as a youth and family therapist, and as a forensic therapist working in the criminal Justice system for those diagnosed with schizophrenia or Bi-Polar Disorder. I specialize in trauma informed care, anxiety, ADHD and depression. I acknowledge not only internal but external stressors which create barriers to achieving one's own mental health goals such as uncontrollable life hardships, political climate or eco-anxiety. My passion is advocating for social justice for marginalized groups and supporting individuals to improve their own self-worth by building and maintaining healthy coping skills for life satisfaction. I am a therapist who is assertive in my communication style, and I strive to provide a safe space to explore emotions and build insight. I will use a variety of techniques including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brainspotting Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Dialectical- Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-Focused, and Solution-Focused that are tailored to the individual. I love working with the community as I believe a mentally healthy community is a resilient community.
